Abstract
IT is just twenty years ago since the late Charles Darwin called the writer's attention to a little paper, by Fritz Müller, published in Kosmos for May 1879, and containing a new suggestion concerning the theory of mimicry. It was the writer's misfortune to have foreseen that the principle discovered by Müller was likely to exert a profound influence on certain biological problems of which the solution had up to that time been un-attempted, and he accordingly introduced the new idea to the entomologists of this country by inserting a translation of the paper in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of London.
